What to expect

GLOBAL IN SCOPE, FEARLESS IN TONE AND DARING ABOUT WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN NEXT

'The world is on fire, and this is the book we need in this moment' ANGELA SAINI, author of THE PATRIARCHS

'Fantastic and timely . . . I highly recommend this book to all women' ZAHRA JOYA, author of THE VANISHING GIRL OF KABUL

'This is a wonderful book, terrifying yet full of hope. I highly recommend it' NICOLAS NIARCHOS, author of ELEMENTS OF POWER

Across the world, women are facing backlash. Authoritarian states, online misogyny and climate breakdown are creating growing dangers for women, as their safety is being threatened and their freedoms are under attack.

Today, feminism is trapped in a cycle of consumerism and sold to women as individual empowerment. The result is that women are struggling to build connections with one another and with the world around them.

How can women defend their rights and freedoms in this dangerous world?

In the urgent Feminism for a World on Fire, Natasha Walter moves decisively beyond individualism to build a vision of a rooted feminism that can connect women's liberation to other movements for equality and environmental protection. A world where women can thrive together on a flourishing planet may sometimes seem like a distant dream - but it is still within our grasp.

With clarity and courage, in this passionate and compelling book, Natasha Walter finds a thread of real hope in the dark.

'This book couldn't be more timely, or more needed. I found it a joy to read' JULIET STEVENSON

'At the heart of Natasha Walter's book is a proposition that actually filled me with hope' MARY PORTAS

'Natasha Walters is a unique voice and a big picture thinker. She's right: this is a world on fire. This book will help you understand exactly how' CAROLE CADWALLADR

'Refreshing and inspiring' CAROLINE LUCAS

Critics Review

The world is on fire, and this is the book we need in this moment: a powerful reminder that ending patriarchy means fundamentally reorganising society at its roots, not tinkering at the edges
Angela Saini, author of THE PATRIARCHS
Fantastic and timely . . . It reminds us that we risk losing much of what has been achieved. I highly recommend this book to all women so they can understand their circumstances and the urgency of collective action
Zahra Joya, author of THE VANISHING GIRL OF KABUL
This book couldn't be more timely, or more needed. So many of the hard-won rights and freedoms women have earned over the last decades are being eroded and rolled back. Walter brings brilliance and thoughtfulness to bear in looking at the whole picture, including those places in the world where women are fighting to improve their circumstances with astonishing courage and will. I found it a joy to read, if at times painful
Juliet Stevenson
At the heart of Natasha Walter's book is a proposition that actually filled me with hope - that in a world so fractured, angry and warring, it is women who can come together to reclaim the values of community, safety, solidarity and compassion. I found myself thinking, yes to that, sister
Mary Portas
Refreshing and inspiring
Caroline Lucas
This is a wonderful book, terrifying yet full of hope. I highly recommend it: Natasha Walter's analysis and storytelling are always impeccable
Nicolas Niarchos, author of ELEMENTS OF POWER
Natasha Walters is a unique voice in that she's worked for years with some of the most marginalised women in society - asylum seekers and refugees - but also is a big picture thinker. She interrogates the big, systemic changes of what's happening to women's rights globally and she's right: this is a world on fire. This book will help you understand exactly how
